For the next SoaS Beta I'd like to help users trying out Sugar, especially educators, have an "ah ha" moment about how Sugar on a Stick can open a huge world of books for their students.<br><br>The US elementary schools I visit have a computer lab and they have books. But they certainly don't have the budget to get as many copies of as many different books as they would like.<br>
<br>Maybe our new users will know that there are free books on the internet. Good chance they have never actually tried it themselves. Plus, having a book on the internet doesn't help their students if they get one hour of computer time in the lab.<br>
<br>But having a book on your Sugar Stick and being able to read it in multiple locations is actually very useful! <br><br>This is one of the many things I want educators to discover as they play with their Sugar Sticks.<br>
<br>I know we have wonderful library apps coming down the pike. What I'm interested in right now is what is the art of the possible for the next Beta in June?<br><br>Suggestions so far:<br><br>- Include the FLOSS Sugar manual in the SoaS Image<br>
- Add a link to one or more free book sites in the startup page on Browse<br>- Include a kids book in the SoaS Image.<br><br>Other ideas?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Caroline<br><br>-- <br>Caroline Meeks<br>Solution Grove<br>Caroline@SolutionGrove.com<br>
